THE FURIOUS: Hey Los Angeles! Get Tickets To An Advance Screening Of Kenji Tanigaki’s Newest Action Extravaganza Ahead Of Its Nationwide Release!
Director Kenji Tanigaki’s The Furious is now on deck to blow minds this year with its theatrical release in the U.S. on May 29. That courtesy may just extend all the same to those who can attend an advance screening of the film in Los Angeles on Memorial Day, May 25 at Gardena Cinema.
Produced by Bill Kong, The Furious is having an amazing run at the festivals since kicking off in Toronto last year, and the official trailer is literally the talk of the town. I can only hope that I’ll get to have my own seating upon this film’s arrival seeing as I’m in New York City feeling dead last and sort of just crying my eyes out at this juncture. I’ll be okay, I think…
But hey, hat’s off to The Furious, which currently sits at well over a million trailer views and a Rotten Tomatoes rating of 100% Certified Fresh for those who still keep up with those numbers. Yep, Kenji-san and his team are eating good lately.
Read on, hat’s off to you, Angeleans! Get your tix today!
